It was a very snowy day here in Southern Oregon! Haven't had this kind of snow on the valley floor in quite a while. This was the first experience Gizmo has had with snow like this and he is just a wee bit obsessed.

I feel like my urge to be creative is one of the first things to go during times of political strife, which resulted in an obliteration of my mental health the last time around. Trying to still write and work on the things I care about this time around, even when it feels so absolutely futile.

The paperback proof of The Bonded with the new cover art arrived today and I'm very happy with how it turned out! I also went with a smaller book size this time which feels much better than the hefty 6 x 9 it was before.

Part of the joy of exploring a new story idea is also building a Spotify playlist to go along with it. Music is always such a mood setter when building up a new world. I always find it interesting how different those playlists will feel and what feels fitting to those stories.

I have a bad habit of getting fixated on projects and not allowing myself any time to wind down. #Palia has really been acting as the 'hey Kaitlyn, take a moment to breathe' game so I try to hop on for a little bit each night to harvest my tomatoes and add decor to my cozy cottage!

Whenever I'm feeling too doom and gloom about life, I just remember that there was a time when people were putting radium in, around, and up their nether bits because they were told it would be awesome and safe. Things are bad, but not shove-radium-up-your-butt bad, and I can take solace in that.

It's a chilly week here in Oregon which means my hands have turned into frozen blocks of ice and have to be defrosted via a hot cup of tea before I can even think about typing.

Gizmo's ears after a nap are a sight to behold.

Currently reading The Castings Trilogy by Pamela Freeman. Recently finished the first book and the concept was very interesting. This was one of those random 'grab off the shelf because of the cover' buys at one of my favorite book stores that I've finally gotten around to actually reading.

I used to find formatting awful, mostly due to me not knowing what the hell I was doing, but now I find it rather enjoyable. I take great joy in making things look juuust right while being hunched at my desk like some crazed blanket goblin for hours while I work on it.

I'm in the process of doing an overhaul of all of my work as I move it over to a new platform. This includes edits, new covers, and new formatting for all three books in the Allseer trilogy. Just wrapped up the first book and excited to see the new cover in person!
